You know V, IMHO you and I need to work on our form. 
My problem is I have great entries in general, but exit too early and leave too much on the table. Your problem, as I see it, is you have good entries too and you have the patience to let the trade work for you. But once it's run significantly in your favor, and you have a significant profit, you don't take it and let the market come back and the profit disappears. As you're saying there are smaller ranges right now so not every trade will be a 3 point $3,000 profit or even a 2 point profit. I'd definitely take $1,000 if it's there in this market. You can always reenter after a pullback.
